Allu Arjun’s ever-green film ‘Arya’, Sukumar directorial has turned 20 on May 7. The movie which was released on May 7, 2004, went on to become a blockbuster at the box office and still remains etched in the hearts of many. 

The film Arya holds a special place in the heart of the lead actor, Allu Arjun. Celebrating the film’s 20th anniversary, Allu Arjun shared the poster of the film and wrote that the film ‘Arya’ is “not just a movie … it’s a moment in time that changed the course of my life. Gratitude forever”.
